Liam Livingstone has labelled 2022 a "very special year'" having played an integral part in England 's revolution under Brendon McCullum.
English cricket has gone from strength to strength in recent months, following a dismal Ashes defeat to Australia a year ago. Having lost 4-0 to old rivals Australia last winter, it was time for change and this was introduced in the form of appointing new head coach - and New Zealand legend - McCullum.
Under the guidance of the New Zealander and new captain Ben Stokes, England have seemingly changed the face of Test cricket. Their new, hard-hitting style of play - labelled 'Bazball' after McCullum - has seen the national team revolutionise the way in which the longest format of the game is played.
